About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Born in New York City in 1975 to immigrant parents from El Salvador and Italy, I grew up in a suburb on Long Island and completed my undergraduate studies at Binghamton University, with a double-major in Philosophy and Comparative Literature. I then joined an international non-profit, volunteering with a small team in Nicaragua, where I worked on a rural construction project dedicated to community health. During this time, I translated young poets, eventually publishing an anthology of Nicaraguan poetry titled Ruben’s Orphans: Anthology of Contemporary Nicaraguan Poetry (Painted Rooster Press, 2000).
From 2003 to 2007, I worked with philosopher Ken Wilber as a member of Integral Institute, where I co-authored the handbook Integral Life Practice: A 21st-Century Blueprint for Physical Health, Emotional Balance, Mental Clarity, and Spiritual Awakening (Shambhala Publications, 2008). Since 2013, I have been dedicated to building the Cosmos community and bringing the vision of Cosmos Co-op into being.
